Assessment: 10/10 I really don't know what to say about this workout. My squat feels awesome right now. I weighed 155 this morning, so no weight loss in the past week but recall I had a big cheat meal Saturday night and I am being extremely strict now on my diet so I should be back under 153 by Wednesday. 405x3 felt AWESOME though. I am not 100% sure on depth but knowing how I squat, it was more than likely plenty deep. 545 also felt really light on the holds and that is a big plus. Lockouts felt pretty solid, and my bench felt awesome. The 250x5 comes out to about a 300-315 bench which is excellent for being 10 lbs lighter! I got my 2nd cardio session at 5 or so tonight. Opening day today, go yankees!

Assessment: So, I puked today after my deadlifts! 4 sets of 5 in 5 minutes, rough ****! The reverse bands felt solid. 555 was a good lift. I got 575 next week which is 30 lbs under my best reverse band. Also 435x5 convo, might have to put a belt on for that one but we'll see. I did not do my cardio after my workout as I opted to have carbs/protein after because I puked out my pre-workout carbs/protein. I will be doing 60 minutes of cardio later today, 15 minutes short of what I planned on doing today, but that will be fine. Oh by the way, 152.2 lbs today! Down 15 lbs from Day 1, 8 lbs from Day 7. No 6 pack yet, hoping it will happen in the next 2.5 weeks!
Tony, I think it was the combination of the exhaustion from deadlifting and the russian twists tossing around my stomach a bit. That's pretty kool that the odds changed to 50/50 or better! I think we could have a pretty good battle for the wilks!

If you go to 148, I'll be 2 up, it makes a big difference. Your weights are very impressive, we'll just have to see how it shakes out. I may need to bring my abacus
In all reality, I just set my numbers as the goals I want to achieve and whatever happens, happens. If I'm actually competing against someone head-head, I'll sometimes pay attention to where they are at, but I don't let it effect my attempts unless it's the last pull. At the Raw Unity Meet I just did what I did and didn't know where I was compared to everyone else until I saw the results. With wilks and differing weight classes it's too much to try and figure out for me. I'm sure others use a much different approach, but I just have to do what works for me.
I am the same way as you with how i play out my meets unless it is a close battle. A little friendly battle is always fun though and makes for a good time!
4/10 BSB
12 Pullups/12 Pushups/12 Squats
2 board -ring on rings 185x8 275x3 315x2 325x2 335x2
Assessment: 10/10 I weighed 151.8 this morning, and I'm pretty sure I hit a 2 board PR. 2 weeks ago I only hit 335 for 1 rep and it was much harder than today's double. The squats also felt awesome! Incline bench felt great, 195x5 equates to about a 245 max so that means my incline bench hasn't gone down at all. Basically, my strength hasn't went down much, if at all, and possibly has even went up... with a 15+ lb weight loss! I am stoked about this! I got another 45-60 minutes of cardio to do later tonight.
